Chapter 663
Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 663 Give Him Anything Except for Women The streets were full of people, and many were engaged in entertainment activities in large squares, livening the atmosphere.
Jensen walked on the street alone quietly, as if he was out of tune with the hustle and bustle around him.
Unconsciously, he walked to the gate of the Kooper residence.
In his memory, he only felt the Christmas spirit in this villa.
âGilbert, Grandma, and I will always have Christmas dinner together at that time. Although only three of us were there, we didnât feel lonely. Grandma will prepare a gift for each of us on Advent. I was always so excited when I received her gift, and I stayed up for the whole night.â
Flashes of childhood memory entered his mind as he arrived in front of the gate to the courtyard. The gate was halfâopened, with someone already in the yard.
Jensen saw Madalyn when he raised his head. Subconsciously turning back to the direction he came from, Madalynâs call stopped Jensen. Madalyn and George were chatting in the yard, but Madalynâs face darkened when she saw Jensenâs arrival.
She walked over with a cane. The kindness on her face had long since disappeared. Madalynâs tone still concealed her disappointment with him, âWhat else are you here for, checking if you killed Gilbert?â
Jensen kept his back toward Madalyn and remained silent, but his hands on the side slightly tightened.
âIâll make Gilbert know your true colors. Forget about ever hurting him again.â
Madalyn still held a grudge for Jensenâs refusal to pick the fruit. She felt particularly resentful toward the man in front of her when she thought her grandson had almost died.
Jensen lowered his eyes and smiled, calmly saying, Sorry, I came to the wrong place.â He left without looking back after he finished.
Madalyn opened her mouth, but no words could be spoken.
When Gilbert ran down in a hurry, Jensenâs figure had long been out of sight. He turned around and looked at Madalyn, âWhatâs going on? Why did Jensen leave?â
âWhy do you still care about a brother who wants you dead?â
âGeorge had told me about the incident of picking fruit, but I donât trust it.â
Gilbert followed Madalyn into the yard and said in a firm tone, âHe definitely will pick the fruit for me if he knows I urgently need the fruit. If the situation were reversed, Iâd definitely pick the fruit for him, even if I have to go through heaven and earth.â
Madalyn almost fainted from anger after she heard Gilbert. âYou fool! Treating him with sincerity doesnât mean he would reciprocate. From his point of view, youâre the enemy who robbed him of his woman and property.â
Gilbert lowered his eyes and said casually, âIâm willing to give him anything he wants except for women.â
Madalyn was furious with him. âJust wait and see. Heâs the same as his father. Heâll never be content with the status quo.â
Suddenly, Gilbert looked at Madalyn with sadness. âI remember you liked him a lot when I was younger. But why are you always doubtful of him nowadays? Have you ever thought he just came to see you, and what you said may have hurt him?â
âIâ¦â Madalyn was at a loss for words.
Gilbert whispered, âThere were many opportunities if he wanted to kill me. He doesnât have to send you such a message.â Gilbert entered the villa after he finished.
Madalyn stood in the yard and felt a little lost.
The surface of the river shimmered. Jensen held a bottle of wine and leaned against the fence on the riverbank. He took a sip of the wine and laughed grimly.
âEveryone thinks Iâm a bad guy. So, Iâll be the bad guy, okay?â
Time flew by, and Christmas Eve came as soon as Advent was over. Kisa got up early in the morning, cleaned up the house, then began to list the things she was going to buy today.
âI made an appointment with Jensen and Mia to make dumplings on Christmas Eve. I must buy the wrappers and fillings. Besides, the couplets and decorations must be bought so we can decorate,â
thought Kisa as she took a pen and listed it on the paper, only finalizing the long to- buy list after a while.
Kisa then changed into a thick sweater and ran into Blake when she was about to go out. Blake came out of the house alone, face full of sadness.
